#Neurobiotics

In a groundbreaking discovery, scientists have unveiled a “neurobiotic sense”—a newly identified gut-to-brain communication system that lets the brain know, in real time, when your body has had enough to eat. This research, published by a team at Duke University School of Medicine in the scientific journal Nature, uncovers how specialized colon cells detect bacterial signals and quickly send appetite-suppressing messages to the brain, potentially reshaping our understanding of diet, obesity, and the intricate link between gut microbes and behavior (Neuroscience News; Nature Journal).
